In a battle against 7, he took 4 of them with him to the grave. Highly decorated, admired, and revered by his fellow citizens of Britain, his death was grieved by the entire land. But Britannians had taken solace in knowing that he had died a glorious death, one that every knight hopes for, serving his countrymen. Given the traditional knight's burial, his family was presented with his sword and shield by Lord British as the streets of Britain were lined with delicate flowers and all the flags in the kingdom were lowered. | Ilhenir was once a great knight, served under Lord British himself.

Ilhenir the Great Knight
Ilhenir was once a great knight, served under Lord British himself. In the battle against Lord Blackthrone, valiantly he lost his life alongside his beloved horse, Red. In a battle against 7, he took 4 of them with him to the grave. Highly decorated, admired, and revered by his fellow citizens of Britain, his death was grieved by the entire land. But Britannians had taken solace in knowing that he had died a glorious death, one that every knight hopes for, serving his countrymen. Given the traditional knight's burial, his family was presented with his sword and shield by Lord British as the streets of Britain were lined with delicate flowers and all the flags in the kingdom were lowered.
But for Ilhenir's family, the loss of their only son was too much to bare. Nothing could quench their mourning. Having much wealth, they sought to have Ilhenir returned to them in any way possible. There had been rumors that the city of Umbra had knowledgeable persons that may be able to help them in their quest. The pain felt by Ilhenir's mother only served to fuel his father's decision to seek the assistance of studied necromancers in a secret scholastic institution named Bedlam, which resided hidden somewhere in Umbra.
Bedlam in Umbra
Necromancy was wicked and very powerful. Those that had wielded its dark magic had used it to further the evils of the world; it was not a good art to practice. But now, it had been lost and gone unused for many moons. The citizens of Umbra had stumbled upon it and the mages and theurgists of Umbra decided to try to study and learn its dark ways. Thus they established Bedlam, underground. Hidden away from the sight of common folk, they were able to summon undead, raise the dead, and shape shift without much notice. A portal was built in the Bloodletter's Guild that would allow admission to Bedlam, with of course the proper papers. Soon those that learned whatever old, dusty books would teach them eventually became professors in Bedlam, teaching others. They practiced on small animals; goats and hinds and sheep, but never on humans. They sought to bring necromancy back as a practiced art, but had no intentions of using it for evil doings.
